Job description

Life at UiPath The people at UiPath believe in the transformative power of automation to change how the world works. We’re committed to creating category-leading enterprise software that unleashes that power. To make that happen, we need people who are curious, self-propelled, generous, and genuine. People who love being part of a fast-moving, fast-thinking growth company. And people who care—about each other, about UiPath, and about our larger purpose. Could that be you?

Your mission

We're seeking a Principal Product Manager to join our Governance team. You'll drive product direction across human, robot, and agent identity, delegated and scoped authorization, guardrails, and audit and attribution for non-human actors, and you'll work the patterns the industry is still standardizing right now: on-behalf-of delegation chains, OAuth flows for autonomous callers, just-in-time elevation, sandboxing, and policy-as-code for tool access. This is a high-agency, AI-native role. You will be deep in the product: testing, prototyping with coding agents, talking to customers, and turning what you learn into a coherent roadmap to build. Your north star is an agentic enterprise’ trust translating into adoption: governance with required coverage, and monitoring, for enterprises; and frictionless for builders to code it in.

What you'll do at UiPath

  • Own the 12–18 months roadmap for identity, auth, and access governance across UiPath's agentic platform, in coherence with company priorities and evolving standards in the ecoystem.
  • Evolve how identity works for agents, robots, and humans at UiPath (provisioning, scoping, delegation, attestation), ship the patterns, and drive their adoption across the product teams that build on them.
  • Drive the auth model for LLM tool-calling (for internal and external agents), enterprise-managed authorization, scoped consent, least-privilege execution, step-up and just-in-time elevation, and OOTB monitoring views, audit trails that hold up in front of a compliance team.
  • Enhance the guardrail layer around agent action: policy-as-code for tool access, sandboxing boundaries, approval and elevation flows, and the attribution model that answers "which agent, on whose behalf, under which policy" after the fact.
  • Define how UiPath agents present themselves to the outside world and how outside agents present themselves to UiPath: agent identities registered in enterprise directories, on-behalf-of delegation chains that survive multiple hops, and agent-to-agent trust.
  • Partner with our largest and most regulated customers (financial services, healthcare, public sector) on production deployments. Go deep enough to know which specific control failed and ship the fix.
  • Use the platform as a builder. Stand up agents, wire up auth flows, use coding agents aggressively to prototype and ship reference implementations.
  • Instrument and own the metrics that matter (e.g. time-to-grant, audit coverage, policy violations caught, developer friction) and prioritize against them.
  • Present UiPath's governance capabilities and roadmap to customers, partners, and consider authoring any external content that earns CISO trust.

What you'll bring to the team

  • 7+ years in technical PM or engineering roles, with sustained time in the governance space: identity, access, and guardrails for enterprise software. You have shipped infrastructure that enterprises trusted with production traffic.
  • A visible record of innovating in agentic governance specifically: owned capabilities, reference implementations, spec or working-group contributions.
  • Fluency in enterprise identity and access: how users, services, and now agents authenticate, what they're allowed to do, and how actions get audited.
  • Working knowledge of the agent auth stack as it stands today: MCP authorization, on-behalf-of delegation, and how IdPs like Okta and Entra now model agents as identities.
  • Working understanding of agentic AI (tool-calling, MCP, RAG, agent design patterns) and a view on how identity, access, and guardrails should evolve to support autonomous actors.
  • First-principles thinker, comfortable in ambiguity. Can produce a defensible direction and can tell the difference between a problem the standards will solve for us.
  • Clear communicator, in writing and in person: you can write a short position doc that frames a decision, explain a concept well to a CISO or auditor, and walk a customer through a working demo without overselling it.

Ideal background

  • Several years in identity, access, or security-platform product work in enterprise vendors - hyperscaler identity team, IAM vendors, workload-identity or secrets vendor, or as an early PM at a startup in the space, with focus on agents.
  • Has been working on the enterprise agentic governance problem for a while: a product or feature in market, a spec or working-group contribution.
  • Has opinions about where agent identity, access, and guardrails are going in the next 24 months, with receipts.
  • Has shipped into regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, public sector) and has sat through a customer security or compliance review to shape product roadmap.
  • Works closely with engineering and field teams and is trusted by both to make technical trade-offs without a committee.
  • Prototypes before writing: has used code or coding agents to test an idea and brought the working version to the discussion.
